“I love this aesthetically and it's really well made, however whilst I think it's lovely, Hebridean birds are not in agreement. I don't know whether they're fatter than other UK birds but they won't even attempt to sneak in. So, beautiful, but not fit for purpose according to lots of house sparrows, wheatears, greenfinches and goldfinches.”
“It took the small birds a while to trust the new feeder but after about a week they gradually started to use it. The squirrels cant get to the seed so the small birds are able to get more. This is what we wanted to achieve.”
“I have had problems with squirrels for a long time and this feeder was a last chance to continue feeding the birds. It has been quite funny watching these little pests trying to get at the seed. They have tried from every angle with no luck. They now pass by taking no notice of the feeder. Success at last. The greenfinches were a bit scared to go inside the cage at first, it is a bit tight for them but they seem fine with it now and the smaller birds have no problem. My only negative comment is that the feeder is made in China. I do not buy goods from this Country and should have asked before buying.”
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. When introducing a new feeder into the garden it is not uncommon for the birds to avoid it for a time as they are unfamiliar and it will still smell new.
We advise hanging the new feeder next to the old feeder and then after a few days remove the old one as this will give the birds chance to try the new feeder and move across.
“Build and functionality are great - however it holds way less seed than my previous feeders, which I had not realised when I ordered it - and the smaller birds are not as happy ... but a few have found their way in .... if I did not have so many giant bullies eating vast amounts of my bird seed (rooks, crows, jackdaws, magpies, etc etc) I would go back to a normal feeder - but for now I will persevere!!!”
“Problems with delivery firm, but quickly sorted by Ian. Nice product -certainly deters squirrels.
Great Spotted woodpecker a regular visitor, but finches and tits still a bit wary (been out 4 days)”
